Alas 1 of 3 on the out of town scoreboards. Still if we beat Dallas twice then we would only be a half game out of 6th.

Denver drops one, 2 games ahead with 1 game against us.

Will be real impressed if Wolves can win at least one of Cleveland and GSW and then go 5 straight against OKC, Portland, Portland, OKC, and Orlando. The big thing is to be playing well and winning games at a decent clip regardless of what Dallas, Denver, LAC, and LAL are doing.


Orlando is playing pretty well. They've won 4 of the last 7 with a good loss to Phx in that span. Will be an interesting two games tonight and tomorrow against Orlando and Miami. Keep it up Wolves!

They are in last place by one game. A win tonight or any night could cost them a draft spot. I know lotto odds are the same 1-3 but at 3 you can move to 7 whereas at 1 you can only move to 5. They really need to tank.

Our win plus Denver losing = 1.5 games back with one more matchup and the tie break regardless. 6th seed is very much in play.

Let’s hope when the play in tournament starts the team we play against is missing their two best players

Someone's gonna cry 'cause his team loses in the first round against the Cavs who also lost their two players due to season ending injuries while his team has their stars playing.

Definitely could happen, but my favorite scenario is Philly and Brooklyn round 1 with no home game restriction on Kyrie and Simmons back. If that happens maybe the 76ers win a game, but whether it be in 4 or 5 the Nets would get to prove just how dumb Morey was.

Denver has a pretty tough schedule coming up.

@philly, @washington, @cleveland, Boston, LAC, Phoenix.


Also neither us or them have any B2B games left, seems odd.

Looks like Luka might have tweaked something in his leg. Hard to tell what specifically or how severely. At first glance looks like a groin injury.

Update: announcers saying hamstring. Staying in but hurting.

Second update: Luka was still grabbing it, then did a move inside and seemed to make it worse. Limped off and we went straight to locker room.
